I bought the book and finished reading the novel the week before Watchmen the movie came out.

I read about 2/3 of it in a night and morning while in and on my way back from Chicago in September of 2007, then I finished the rest off and on during the week. Quite intense; I have a picture of me on the plane reading the Dr. Manhattan chapter (I might've read it faster if not for the in-between chapter goodies).

Suffering from intense depression, first read Watchmen when I was seventeen years old. Realized that my problems were pretty small.

It's still my favorite piece of fiction.

It took Watchmen (which is fiction) for you to see that your problems were pretty small and not real life situations like kids dying of AIDS in Africa?

I said I was 17. Who wasn't an arrogant teenager? What I was trying to say was that I didn't start asking heavy existential questions about my own life until I read Watchmen. Geez.

The same thing kinda happened to me . After reading Watchmen, I will never say my life sucks again.

Do you want me to start counting? Yes, I have done a lot of reading. Some of my favorite novels are On The Road, Rabbit, Run, Slaughter House Five, The Bell Jar, and Of Mice and Men.

Watchmen is still my favorite.
